In2Books sponsorship is an excellent vehicle for sponsor companies looking to address educational inequity as well as engage the hearts and minds of their employees. As a virtual volunteer opportunity it is also easy and efficient for your company to get involved.
In2Books® is a research-based program that builds a vibrant learning community among 3rd – 5th grade students, their teachers and adult pen pal volunteers. Students develop reading, writing and critical thinking skills as they engage in authentic dialogues with their pen pals about important topics raised in high quality books. This cost-effective program has also been shown to work. Research reported in Phi Delta Kappan (March 2007) found that students in In2Books classrooms scored significantly higher on standardized reading tests. And according to Reading Teacher (May 2007) 9 out of 10 teachers report that In2Books positively impacted their students' achievements.
